  - CPython 3.9 and earlier doesn't disallow configuring an empty list ([]) for
    SSLContext.set_npn_protocols() which is an invalid value for the underlying OpenSSL API. This results in a
    buffer over-read when NPN is used (see CVE-2024-5535 for OpenSSL). This vulnerability is of low severity
    due to NPN being not widely used and specifying an empty list likely being uncommon in-practice (typically
    a protocol name would be configured). (CVE-2024-5642)

  - When folding a long comment in an email header containing exclusively unfoldable characters, the
    parenthesis would not be preserved. This could be used for injecting headers into email messages where
    addresses are user-controlled and not sanitized. (CVE-2025-11468)

  - User-controlled data URLs parsed by urllib.request.DataHandler allow injecting headers through newlines in
    the data URL mediatype. (CVE-2025-15282)

  - The html.parser.HTMLParser class had worse-case quadratic complexity when processing certain crafted
    malformed inputs potentially leading to amplified denial-of-service. (CVE-2025-6069)

  - When using http.cookies.Morsel, user-controlled cookie values and parameters can allow injecting HTTP
    headers into messages. Patch rejects all control characters within cookie names, values, and parameters.
    (CVE-2026-0672)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
